可从http://lighttpd.net/download/下载最新的源码(.tar.gz)或者rpm包。如果下载的是.tar.gz文件，则和GNU的其他软件一样，先./configure一下，然后 make && make install就搞定了。但是如果你想定制一些功能，就得好好看看解压后README, INSTALL以及./configure --help的输出结果了。这里仅仅说一下如何从源码安装，其他安装方式可参考 http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/TutorialInstallation。
$ gzip -cd lighttpd-1.4.9.tar.gz tar xf - ... $ cd lighttpd-1.4.9 $ ./configure --help `configure' configures lighttpd 1.4.9 to adapt to many kinds of systems.

To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.

Installation directories: --prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX [/usr/local] --exec-prefix=EPREFIX install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX [PREFIX]
By default, `make install' will install all the files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix', for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.
For better control, use the options below.
Fine tuning of the installation directories: ...
Program names: ...
System types: ...
Optional Features: --disable-FEATURE do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-FEATURE=no) --enable-FEATURE[=ARG] include FEATURE [ARG=yes] --enable-maintainer-mode enable make rules and dependencies not useful (and sometimes confusing) to the casual installer --disable-dependency-tracking speeds up one-time build --enable-dependency-tracking do not reject slow dependency extractors --enable-static[=PKGS] build static libraries [default=no] --enable-shared[=PKGS] build shared libraries [default=yes] --enable-fast-install[=PKGS] optimize for fast installation [default=yes] --disable-libtool-lock avoid locking (might break parallel builds) --enable-lfs Turn on Large File System (default) --disable-ipv6 disable IPv6 support
Optional Packages: --with-PACKAGE[=ARG] use PACKAGE [ARG=yes] --without-PACKAGE do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no)
